I love these kinds of videos so much. I remember fixing an old Socket 7 motherboard back in the day when I was a kid, by resoldering a 5 volt converter to the board that I ripped off an older 486 board. I didn't even know what the parts were at the time. I just knew it was broken/burnt and I had a part on another board with a similar number on it. It ended up working and I used it for a few years. Videos like this bring me back to those days.
No need to apologize for anything Tech Yes Man! We feel ya! - hope you feel better and hope you get to see your son asap! - great video and great attitude - keep it up!
Great upload as always,Thoroughly enjoy this sort of content attempting to fix and bring back life to problematic PC parts etc :) Hope you are well Brian :)
you should look for an IR reflow machine instead of a heat gun there cheap now. Got mine in 2009 and paid $3000 for it. there like $500 now for a decent one. you dont need the BGA reballer just the IR to reflow.
Daaaang i had that mini model of the Zotac 1070, was a great companion! Brian keep up your good attitude :) Always great to see you, greetings from Germany!
I hope things work out with your son. I can't imagine the pressure that puts on you. Keep up the good work. I truly enjoy your videos. I've been building PCs since 1986 when I built my first PC clone with a 286-10. I still build my own PCs and I'm now 75.
I just picked up my daughter from preschool and listened to your video on the way home. I hate being away from my kids for even one day so I feel for you and hope you can see your son soon. Cheers!
Great video once again Bryan 🥰🥳👍🤩! I’m glad you received my parcels 👍. Unfortunately magnesium was my first port of call and didn’t work but other treatments have provided a little bit of relief 😅 👍
Always enjoy the content. 2nd hand parts so addictive. Very happy to have just scored x570 Tuf Gaming plus under $100. Sept 2021 bios. Looks brand new with no issues whatsoever. Be great to see some content with newer 2nd hand parts (steals).
I'm glad at least one of the three boards managed to spring back to life. I'm very gracious about that to be openly honest. The other two I really wanted to see suddenly wake up, but there's only so much that can be done tbh. Also I don't have cats! I have dogs! Your suspicion is right though, I think it's because I had so much dog fur from my recently passed away Australian Shepherds that it ended up; unfortunately short circuiting the Maximus VIII Formula motherboard. As for the OMEN it sounds like it is dead dead, and at least it lived a good three months haha. I think the lesson here is to on-occasion take out all of your computer parts and give them a good clean. Dust blower, cue tips, Isopropyl Alcohol, all that stuff if done once a year can hopefully keep your components alive for a little longer. Great Video! Keep up the Tech Yes Fixin' :)
Yes, I too live in Switzerland and built all of my family's PC with used/local parts. Picked up an Asus p9x79 Pro with i73820, 8x4GB of DDR3 1600 HyperXFury RAM, and a CoolerMaster Hyper 412S; this bundle was purchased almost three years ago for ~US$220. I've been running the motherboard as a daily driver since, although I did upgrade to E5-1680v2 (4.3Ghz OC) and a PCCooler (GI-D66A w/230W TDP). After selling off the CPU and Cooler, I basically got the motherboard for about ~US20.
No judgement here, Brian. Past two years have been extraordinarily tough for everyone, but especially for people in your type of situation. Glad you are starting to feel that you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and hope that you can get to see your son in the very near future. Almost as an incidental, really enjoyed this content!
That P6T Deluxe was the same motherboard I managed to "revive" with a good socket pin scrub, the two middle RAM slots weren't being recognized, so I gave them a bath in isoprophyl alcohol and scrub the socket with one of those antistatic brushes. Also, that board has the worst CMOS battery placement I've ever seen, vertically on a corner... I had to solder it back in place since the middle pin broke and the battery wasn't making proper contact and resetting every single reboot.
I've had two GPUs in the passed with lines and I managed to get them to a perfectly useable state by underclocking the memory by little as 100hmz. Cards a card when you ain't got a spare just gotta load MSI Afterburner first! :)
Bryan, may you soon be again with your son I 🙏. You have been such a blessing and an inspiration to do many of us, thank you! We appreciate you! You have helped us through these past two years. Grateful for you good sir.
Hey, Brian, love the videos! I had a question - when you buy parts, either new or used, for pcs to sell that come with boxes, do you throw them out or give them to the buyer?
same problem we havent seen our family in the Philippines 3 yrs now we are going in May this year Bryan love your channel Bryan very good as usual Paul Daniel channel is very good he is up your way in north Queensland i think fixes pc and mack's
I sold a Motherboard, CPU, RAM bundle and 2 days later the buyer messaged me saying it wasn't working and could I take a look at it for them. So they bought it over installed in the case and straight away I saw the problem..... they had used a 6+2 PIN PCIE connector on the motherboard EPS connection. I found the 4+4 PIN connector tucked away in the back plugged it in and away it went..... kind of a novice mistake but everyone has to learn.... I didn't charge them a penny extra and also tidied up their cable management for them too :)
Had a problem with my rampage iv extreme detecting ram or not booting because of ram until I realized you are supposed to plug a floppy power connector in the spot right next to the 6 pin pcie power and it provides cleaner power to the ram slots. That fixed all of my ram problems right then
Generally motherboard refused to turn on is usually points toward vrm power delivery having a faulty MOSFET or shorting to ground. And second thing is the CPU socket have a short life cycle if you constantly put in and take out the CPU too many times you will put the pins out of place and can short out something on the board resulting no post. Now the GPU with no post is a whole different situation as fault finding the board is tricky as you need thermal camera, voltage injection, digital multi meter with fine tips, knowledge and replacement parts
For the Asus viii board try checking under the PCIe slots I had the same board and had it die on me with a chip under the 2nd PCIe slot getting very hot with no life at all sometimes the lights light up until I try to power it on... IDK if changing the chip would fix it cuz j have it in my closet atm and just bought a new one.
The heat gun method is actually okay, but it's better to use a soldering blower that have temperature control, since the soldered connection in gpu is manufactured by machine, sometimes it have a cold joint on the connection, using a blower/heat gun can help reflow the cold joint
It’s not easy to fly anywhere these days. We have tried twice to fly to Brazil to meet my wife’s family but the flight got cancelled each time. The first flight we booked before covid was even a thing and the date was right after the first lockdowns started. The second we booked after the first wave was over and we thought it would be ok in 2021. My wife hasn’t seen her family in 5 years since it is too expensive to fly from Sweden each year. Our plan was to go every 3 years but now it will be much longer. So while I personally have my family here I can still feel for you because I know what she is going through.
Bryan, I really hope you get to see your son soon. My son is the coolest person I know, and it would tear my heart out to not see him for two entire years. Nothing matters more. Also, I was refurbing a slightly dated gaming laptop (i7-4720HQ, GTX 960M, 16GB DDR3 C9) to give to a friend while I was watching your video. Cheers to everybody who fixes up older tech to make it new again and shares it with people who matter!
As a repairist (as hobby only, apart from full time job and part time degree), my success rate also drop, received parts (bought from 2nd part store / web etc.) are more curel then before, they are usually complete blown instead of know repairable issues. Looks like there are more people tried repairing and prevented some "easy fix" flowing into market.
Hey Brian, the Rampage IV Extreme has a temp issue that stops it from booting. I've got 2 of these with this issue, apparently caused by a faulty LN2 sensor on the board. When mine don't boot I warm them up with a hairdryer (max heat from about 20cm) and they turn on after 10-20 seconds of heat, maybe 30 if stubborne. (I also live here in QLD and they still have this issue in summer) Might be worth a shot.
Been thinking about getting one of those bigger cleaners myself. I used to run a Epson wf 3640 printer and the print heads always dry out and stop working. I gave up and went back to a HP 9025 all in one that can sit forever and the print heads never get plugged with dry ink, it just prints till it runs out of ink. What machine did you get and how much US for it? I still might get one as you can super clean about anything that will fit. Love what you do and making old stuff live again and make a few bucks as well.
Hi Bryan, understand you have your heart on seeing your son again. Please hang in there. Theres no need to apologize or answer to your audience about your personal life. This year looks to be the year to travel overseas. Wish you all the best!!
If you ever get an appropriate board for the 9600k, a future video on how no extra threads works in 2022 gaming would be awesome. Moved onto a 5800X from that processor.
I have an old GPU who has similar issues but worse and only when some sort of 3D acceleration is happening which is really a mess you can't do anything with it, but i have found a use for it, i have it on NAS OMV-based server and since the server runs at 2D graphics when you boot it and the mobo won't boot without a GPU because it doesn't even have an internal one, the GPU being broken for 3D doesn't matter there cause terminal GUI (and even at BIOS) have no issue whatsoever. I have placed a fan beside it because it really needs it since it only has a passive cooling and it works wonders, but this is probably what damaged it in the first place from whoever had the card before me.
I feel your pain. I work 5 to 7 days a week and not being around my boys all that's possible tears me up. Love everything you do. You're an inspiration. 😚 no homo
That can you use (on the memory slots) is like WD-40 that's great stuff too 🤗 can use it on your cardoor rubbers so they don't freeze togheter 👍 used WD-40 on cleaning my ps4 and my pc.
the rampage IV ex is a motherboard I have once lived with, it has a notorious cold start fault and warming the board up with a hairdyer for a bit will get it booting, worth a try just get it all setup with and ready to go, then just wave hot air around the board to bring it up to temp should fire it up right away, should also start in warm enviroments over 33c or there abouts, I really do hope you see this because this was a common fault with Rampage IV Exteme owners, the best solution keep it running, and keep a hair dryer handy to warm it up in the case of cold start fault. the cold start fault started showing up on these boards around 2014 as the came out at the end of 2011 most just lived with it after learning how to make them boot.
Yep, I was going to write this but looked to see if there was a post already. This trick does work and looks like the board is suffering from cold start problems.
that person fixing stuff wouldn't be? ( Paul Daniels ) up north of you his channel is great i watch alot of guy's in UK to you know they talk about you to in UK great stuff Bryan your great i recon now !!!!
Oh I murdered many DFi Lanparty's back in the day as the big thing was overclocking single core Bartons and Mobile AMD chips to run stable 3ghz and I got my name up in the list over on Overclockers quite late in the day as I found a lovely Mobile that with a peltier setup I could run at the magic 3ghz stable but the vmodding was insane... it lasted a month before the Lanparty melted finally but had scored :D
the lines on the screen of the 1070, you need to oven it at 195c for 8 minutes and it can sometimes fix it... it usually an issue with the soldering micro balls of the FPGA disconnecting, so not all memory chip are connected fully, to the GPU controller (gpu die).
@Tech YES City at 15:48 can that process be used for fixing amd cpus? I recently bought a Ryzen 5 5600x cpu and when I was installing it two pins got bent slightly. I re-straightened the pins and reinstalled the cpu and found that two ram slots, b1 and b2 respectively, were not reading the ram that was installed. I also switched back to my old cpu and all the ram was being read correctly which means there is an issue with the new cpu and I believe the bent pin was the cause.
Anyone of my fellow germans know a good alternative for that multi purpose spray he uses? BTW, love your videos man. I love the more down to earth builds compared to other youtubers, as well as making use of all the old parts. And the cleaning is always super satisfying!
I recall Brian saying in a past video that his multi purpose spray is just the cheapest locally available wd40 so I'd just look for any cheap wd40 in your local hardware store.
@@Xello99 Bremsenreiniger ist was anderes. Was er benutzt ist ein Multifuntionsschmierspray, er erwähnte mal dass er in Japan ein produkt names "CRC 5-56" benutzt hat - gibt es hier z.B. bei Amazon. Ich bin allerdings nicht so 100% sicher ab ich das auf meinen Motherbaords oder Karten haben will. Es verdrängt zwar ggf. das letzte bisschen Feuchtigkeit und macht das Board schön glänzend. Aber es legt halt auch einen feinen Schmierfilm drauf,der später mal Staub magisch anzieht. Will nicht wissen wie einige seiner Rechner nach einem jahr aussehen. Ich mutze es maximal zum Polieren von Metallteilen etwa an Gehäusen, wo man es auch mit dem Lappen gut verreiben kann. Dreckige Boards (ich bin im Retro-PC-Bereich aktiv, das ist oft quasi Erde drauf) lege ich in warmes wasser mit etwas Spülmittel, bürste sie anschließend under der Dusche gründlich ab und lasse sie eine Weile trocknen. Wenn das Board gut abgetropft ist, sprühe ich es mit 70% Isopropylalkohol ein - der hilft dem restlichen Wasser beim Verdunsten und bearbeite sie mit meinem Fön bis insbesondere unter den RAM, CPU- und Kartensockeln keine Wasserbläschen mehr herauskommen. Dann stelle ich sie ein paar Tage in die die Ecke. Nur wenn irgendwas metallisches korrodiert ist, gebe ich ggf. ein bisschen Kontaktspray oder CRC 5-56 drauf.
As a healthcare worker, I would like to advice not simply to use magnesium for back pains as it may incurr some other unwanted effects. The best thing to do is to get a medical professional check it out. No hate or anything just some advice. Anyway I love your content and have been for sevaral years now. Thanks alot, I always love these types of videos where you intaract directly with your community.
Am I really the only one who noticed a corrosive looking point under the top left VRAM Chip @5:13 ? Maybe John tried to clean the GPU as well and didn't let it dry long enough, causing it to stop outputting an image. After he put them aside and later sent them to you, the water caused the corrosion. So either way, I think the VRAM Chip is now faulty and 2 blame.
dude....u have to make a contract with the Delta Force! You have ridiculous good optics!! its look like its a broken part from the vram chip! but i never ever...notice that!
I'm pretty sure that's just thermal pad oil mate. Those things are not dry. They have some sort of oily substance in them. Normally not enough to run per se. But in any case, that's what I think it is. :) Cheers!
Going with or against the grain when cleaning CPU sockets ? I have one memory slot that's not working due to bent pins I just don't want to mess it up even more trying this the wrong way lol
Hi, I have Zorin Linux system at home and it is very useful as a tool to remove old windows 10 partitions from an M.2 SDD. There is a utility that removes all the partitions for use in a new or existing PC.
hi, 26:35 it depends on the IO, some have use a part of the bios, to work. the 3 boards , dead normaly have some power rails down 3.3v. 5v, 1v... is need to check first, best way is to compare to a working one :
Nvidia mats - often no picture or artefacts are from faulty memory (common problem with 10xx/20xx/30xx cards). Shows exactly what memory bank is at error. certain cases may also be dead memory controller in gpu. Also try as secondary card and look what bios it has. Seen many cards with either dead bios chip or some wierd/faulty bios flashed in ;) + test 12v, 5v and 1,8v rails to see are they there and what they are. seen cards with just a blown fuse (usualy long time miners). I learned lot from Tech Cemetery videos. Hes awesome at resurecting video cards and gives detailed describtion what and why he does.
Hey, just discovered your channel and like quite a few vids of yours. Since I have been working in Australia when I was young and pretty I really love your accent too ;-) My question is: At 28:18 you are using a cleaning spray on your cpu and memory sockets. Can you comment on that? Which kind of spray? What do you do after spraying (just let it dry, wiping it off etc.) ? Having a i7-4790K with some oxydized contacts which I kind of managed to improve with a glas fiber pen after getting 5 beeps from my AMI bios. Thx.
Hey great video iv been trying to fix my freinds pc beacuse it wont boot none of the leds turn on all i can hear is the power supply makes a high pitch noise can you give me any tips on to fix it
Hi Dave quick question I’ve seen on gumtree few cheap cpus but in the descriptions they have bent pins what do they actually do? Would you stay away from them cheers
I have a 1st gen motherboard (LGA 1156), and sometimes it works, sometimes it won't, and sometimes only reads some memory, socket seems fine, does this have a fix ?
I've had several motherboards that either wouldn't come up at all or would fail in the POST process somewhere and hang on boot. No fireworks or nasty abrupt shutdown, just one day wouldn't come up. Like an old person dying in their sleep, that's how most of your electronic devices are going to fail. Asus good with pilot and POST LEDs but my old Crosshair V indicator for CPU was lit red so I bought a compatible Sempron on Amazon dirt cheap and it still wouldn't boot. The old CPU would boot in a different AM3+ board and so would the Sempron. Most of the boards that I had crap out this way had already gotten a lot of use and no new BIOS updates were being written so I ended up chucking them. Probably an upset failure that picked that particular time to give up the ghost.
I really need to get back up to QLD for a holiday last time was pre covid for a friends wedding havent been back since. Need to see them again and maybe catch up for a brewskie with you
i calculate the price of shipping to send two motherboard to Canada to Australia the prices is $145.86 in Canadian dollars ho my sorry Bryan to expensif ..😂🙃 keep going , i learn a lot form you ...👍
Can you have a video on how to replace a fan on an otherwise working psu or should I just leave it to professionals? I actually already bought a new one. But I hate to throw away a "working" psu which the only issue is a fan with bearing noise.
I fell asleep and left my pc running a game and when I woke up the pc had froze and I had to force shutdown but its had problems since. Sometimes it will boot fine and detect both ram sticks but then sometimes it will only detect 1 stick of ram and sometimes it will boot loop or just stay on and not post and I have to keep turning it off and back on again to get it to boot (I assume it detects no sticks when boot looping or refusing to post but I don't know though) It's an I5 4690k, 16gb ddr3 (2x8gb) and motherboard is msi z97 pc mate, any help or advice would be appreciated as I would love to get this system working again cuz my son could do with a pc for college and he also wants to play some game's on pc

The third memory stick was in the red in stead of the black, which could also be important. Woonboot, that is a floating home in Dutch.
keep up dude, i also see my son not often and it hurts af! but keep up, because your son ever will love you, so as you do ❤️

When mine don't boot I warm them up with a hairdryer (max heat from about 20cm) and they turn on after 10-20 seconds of heat, maybe 30 if stubborne. (I also live here in QLD and they still have this issue in summer) Might be worth a shot.
Well, Brian, you only human !!!!
Been thinking about getting one of those bigger cleaners myself. I used to run a Epson wf 3640 printer and the print heads always dry out and stop working. I gave up and went back to a HP 9025 all in one that can sit forever and the print heads never get plugged with dry ink, it just prints till it runs out of ink. What machine did you get and how much US for it? I still might get one as you can super clean about anything that will fit.
Love what you do and making old stuff live again and make a few bucks as well.
Hope you get to see you soon soon Brian. It's criminal keeping you apart for so long like that 🙁
Love the vid . Can u make a cheap the riches vid
Hi Bryan, understand you have your heart on seeing your son again. Please hang in there. Theres no need to apologize or answer to your audience about your personal life. This year looks to be the year to travel overseas. Wish you all the best!!
Keep doing anything that feels good for you and that will get your MOJO back!
If you ever get an appropriate board for the 9600k, a future video on how no extra threads works in 2022 gaming would be awesome. Moved onto a 5800X from that processor.
Tech ? Yessss!
I have an old GPU who has similar issues but worse and only when some sort of 3D acceleration is happening which is really a mess you can't do anything with it, but i have found a use for it, i have it on NAS OMV-based server and since the server runs at 2D graphics when you boot it and the mobo won't boot without a GPU because it doesn't even have an internal one, the GPU being broken for 3D doesn't matter there cause terminal GUI (and even at BIOS) have no issue whatsoever.
I have placed a fan beside it because it really needs it since it only has a passive cooling and it works wonders, but this is probably what damaged it in the first place from whoever had the card before me.
I feel your pain. I work 5 to 7 days a week and not being around my boys all that's possible tears me up. Love everything you do. You're an inspiration. 😚 no homo
That can you use (on the memory slots) is like WD-40 that's great stuff too 🤗 can use it on your cardoor rubbers so they don't freeze togheter 👍 used WD-40 on cleaning my ps4 and my pc.
Do a mass fix it video for all the busted gpus?
the rampage IV ex is a motherboard I have once lived with, it has a notorious cold start fault and warming the board up with a hairdyer for a bit will get it booting, worth a try just get it all setup with and ready to go, then just wave hot air around the board to bring it up to temp should fire it up right away, should also start in warm enviroments over 33c or there abouts, I really do hope you see this because this was a common fault with Rampage IV Exteme owners, the best solution keep it running, and keep a hair dryer handy to warm it up in the case of cold start fault. the cold start fault started showing up on these boards around 2014 as the came out at the end of 2011 most just lived with it after learning how to make them boot.
Yep, I was going to write this but looked to see if there was a post already. This trick does work and looks like the board is suffering from cold start problems.
that person fixing stuff wouldn't be? ( Paul Daniels ) up north of you his channel is great i watch alot of guy's in UK to you know they talk about you to in UK great stuff Bryan your great i recon now !!!!
I feel your pain on Japan. I have three granddaughters in Kobe that I haven't seen since March 2020
Hope you get to see your kid. I myself would be beside myself if I couldn't see my kids.
Best of luck and keep up the videos.
Oh I murdered many DFi Lanparty's back in the day as the big thing was overclocking single core Bartons and Mobile AMD chips to run stable 3ghz and I got my name up in the list over on Overclockers quite late in the day as I found a lovely Mobile that with a peltier setup I could run at the magic 3ghz stable but the vmodding was insane... it lasted a month before the Lanparty melted finally but had scored :D
the lines on the screen of the 1070, you need to oven it at 195c for 8 minutes and it can sometimes fix it... it usually an issue with the soldering micro balls of the FPGA disconnecting, so not all memory chip are connected fully, to the GPU controller (gpu die).
Back issues are horrible, I am permanently disabled due to mine and longer can work either. It's a rough thing to live with.
@Tech YES City at 15:48 can that process be used for fixing amd cpus? I recently bought a Ryzen 5 5600x cpu and when I was installing it two pins got bent slightly. I re-straightened the pins and reinstalled the cpu and found that two ram slots, b1 and b2 respectively, were not reading the ram that was installed. I also switched back to my old cpu and all the ram was being read correctly which means there is an issue with the new cpu and I believe the bent pin was the cause.
Anyone of my fellow germans know a good alternative for that multi purpose spray he uses?
BTW, love your videos man. I love the more down to earth builds compared to other youtubers, as well as making use of all the old parts. And the cleaning is always super satisfying!
Bremsenreiniger
I recall Brian saying in a past video that his multi purpose spray is just the cheapest locally available wd40 so I'd just look for any cheap wd40 in your local hardware store.
@@finnbianga4189 echt? Ist das nicht nochmal was anderes? In älteren Videos hat er immer beides benutzt, Multi-purpose Spray und brake cleaner
@@Xello99 Bremsenreiniger ist was anderes. Was er benutzt ist ein Multifuntionsschmierspray, er erwähnte mal dass er in Japan ein produkt names "CRC 5-56" benutzt hat - gibt es hier z.B. bei Amazon.
Ich bin allerdings nicht so 100% sicher ab ich das auf meinen Motherbaords oder Karten haben will. Es verdrängt zwar ggf. das letzte bisschen Feuchtigkeit und macht das Board schön glänzend. Aber es legt halt auch einen feinen Schmierfilm drauf,der später mal Staub magisch anzieht. Will nicht wissen wie einige seiner Rechner nach einem jahr aussehen.
Ich mutze es maximal zum Polieren von Metallteilen etwa an Gehäusen, wo man es auch mit dem Lappen gut verreiben kann.
Dreckige Boards (ich bin im Retro-PC-Bereich aktiv, das ist oft quasi Erde drauf) lege ich in warmes wasser mit etwas Spülmittel, bürste sie anschließend under der Dusche gründlich ab und lasse sie eine Weile trocknen. Wenn das Board gut abgetropft ist, sprühe ich es mit 70% Isopropylalkohol ein - der hilft dem restlichen Wasser beim Verdunsten und bearbeite sie mit meinem Fön bis insbesondere unter den RAM, CPU- und Kartensockeln keine Wasserbläschen mehr herauskommen. Dann stelle ich sie ein paar Tage in die die Ecke. Nur wenn irgendwas metallisches korrodiert ist, gebe ich ggf. ein bisschen Kontaktspray oder CRC 5-56 drauf.
The "f***" song just made me laugh so f***ing hard hahaha
What a lucky son. He's got super cool father with super cool hobby. 😆
As a healthcare worker, I would like to advice not simply to use magnesium for back pains as it may incurr some other unwanted effects. The best thing to do is to get a medical professional check it out. No hate or anything just some advice. Anyway I love your content and have been for sevaral years now. Thanks alot, I always love these types of videos where you intaract directly with your community.
Am I really the only one who noticed a corrosive looking point under the top left VRAM Chip @5:13 ?
Maybe John tried to clean the GPU as well and didn't let it dry long enough, causing it to stop outputting an image. After he put them aside and later sent them to you, the water caused the corrosion.
So either way, I think the VRAM Chip is now faulty and 2 blame.
dude....u have to make a contract with the Delta Force! You have ridiculous good optics!! its look like its a broken part from the vram chip!
but i never ever...notice that!
I'm pretty sure that's just thermal pad oil mate. Those things are not dry. They have some sort of oily substance in them. Normally not enough to run per se. But in any case, that's what I think it is. :) Cheers!
Considering multiple people commented this, no, you are not special.
Let's assume only one vram chip is bad.
If one bad vram chip is desoldered/removed, maybe the card will work fine again??
@@sixcoregamer9221 Whatever the reason the card is not functional, the oven method might work. It's worth a try. :)
Going with or against the grain when cleaning CPU sockets ? I have one memory slot that's not working due to bent pins I just don't want to mess it up even more trying this the wrong way lol
Great! PLZ give us a link for the ultrasonic cleaner!
Hi, I have Zorin Linux system at home and it is very useful as a tool to remove old windows 10 partitions from an M.2 SDD. There is a utility that removes all the partitions for use in a new or existing PC.
hi, 26:35 it depends on the IO, some have use a part of the bios, to work. the 3 boards , dead normaly have some power rails down 3.3v. 5v, 1v... is need to check first, best way is to compare to a working one :
Nvidia mats - often no picture or artefacts are from faulty memory (common problem with 10xx/20xx/30xx cards). Shows exactly what memory bank is at error. certain cases may also be dead memory controller in gpu. Also try as secondary card and look what bios it has. Seen many cards with either dead bios chip or some wierd/faulty bios flashed in ;) + test 12v, 5v and 1,8v rails to see are they there and what they are. seen cards with just a blown fuse (usualy long time miners). I learned lot from Tech Cemetery videos. Hes awesome at resurecting video cards and gives detailed describtion what and why he does.
Bryan the motherboard fondler. I can see the headlines now.
Hey, just discovered your channel and like quite a few vids of yours. Since I have been working in Australia when I was young and pretty I really love your accent too ;-) My question is: At 28:18 you are using a cleaning spray on your cpu and memory sockets. Can you comment on that? Which kind of spray? What do you do after spraying (just let it dry, wiping it off etc.) ? Having a i7-4790K with some oxydized contacts which I kind of managed to improve with a glas fiber pen after getting 5 beeps from my AMI bios. Thx.
Hey great video iv been trying to fix my freinds pc beacuse it wont boot none of the leds turn on all i can hear is the power supply makes a high pitch noise can you give me any tips on to fix it
Hi Dave quick question I’ve seen on gumtree few cheap cpus but in the descriptions they have bent pins what do they actually do? Would you stay away from them cheers
I have a 1st gen motherboard (LGA 1156), and sometimes it works, sometimes it won't, and sometimes only reads some memory, socket seems fine, does this have a fix ?
I've had several motherboards that either wouldn't come up at all or would fail in the POST process somewhere and hang on boot. No fireworks or nasty abrupt shutdown, just one day wouldn't come up. Like an old person dying in their sleep, that's how most of your electronic devices are going to fail. Asus good with pilot and POST LEDs but my old Crosshair V indicator for CPU was lit red so I bought a compatible Sempron on Amazon dirt cheap and it still wouldn't boot. The old CPU would boot in a different AM3+ board and so would the Sempron. Most of the boards that I had crap out this way had already gotten a lot of use and no new BIOS updates were being written so I ended up chucking them. Probably an upset failure that picked that particular time to give up the ghost.
I really need to get back up to QLD for a holiday last time was pre covid for a friends wedding havent been back since. Need to see them again and maybe catch up for a brewskie with you
it would be very nice to have some i wish i was a mad man music in the background again!
i calculate the price of shipping to send two motherboard to Canada to Australia the prices is $145.86 in Canadian dollars ho my sorry Bryan to expensif ..😂🙃 keep going , i learn a lot form you ...👍
1900 likes now mates let's give him more like 2022 !^.^!
and Greetings form Germany
Can you have a video on how to replace a fan on an otherwise working psu or should I just leave it to professionals? I actually already bought a new one. But I hate to throw away a "working" psu which the only issue is a fan with bearing noise.
I fell asleep and left my pc running a game and when I woke up the pc had froze and I had to force shutdown but its had problems since.
Sometimes it will boot fine and detect both ram sticks but then sometimes it will only detect 1 stick of ram and sometimes it will boot loop or just stay on and not post and I have to keep turning it off and back on again to get it to boot (I assume it detects no sticks when boot looping or refusing to post but I don't know though)
It's an I5 4690k, 16gb ddr3 (2x8gb) and motherboard is msi z97 pc mate, any help or advice would be appreciated as I would love to get this system working again cuz my son could do with a pc for college and he also wants to play some game's on pc
Wishing the best for you to see your son soon.
